How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 65 ÷ 100 = 0.65
- Multiply: 0.65 × 20 = 13
- Check: Work backwards: 13 ÷ 20 × 100 = 65%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 65/100 = part/20, so part = 65 × 20 ÷ 100 = 13. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =65%*20. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
What the result means
13 is the 65% share of 20. The remaining 35% is 7, and the two parts add back up to 20.
Discounts: 65% off an item priced $20 saves $13, so you pay $7.
Adding and taking away 65%
Increasing 20 by 65% gives 33 and decreasing it by 65% gives 7. These do not cancel out: raising 20 by 65% and then lowering the result by 65% ends at 11.55, because the second 65% is taken of a bigger number.
